The two dominant classification systems for ankle fractures in use are the Lauge-Hansen and AO-Danis-Weber schemes. Each has certain advantages and disadvantages. Because of basic similarities, integration of these systems into one scheme involving three basic patterns with appropriate staging appears to be reasonable. This integration is based upon combining the pronation-abduction and pronation-external rotation injuries in Lauge-Hansen's scheme into one pronation-abduction-external rotation pattern. The resultant system would appear attractive in terms of combining relative simplicity with completeness.
